Research Headlines – New materials remove emerging organic pollutants from water

Emerging pollutants are chemicals that are difficult to remove from effluents during waste-water treatment. An EU-funded project has developed novel materials for use in innovative integrated water treatments to remove these pollutants, leading to cleaner and safer water. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – Accelerating antimatter research

An EU-funded project is probing antimatter, one of nature’s great mysteries. In doing so, it is advancing technical developments in this research area, contributing to Europe’s fundamental scientific knowledge and helping us understand the origins of the universe. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – Assessing risks to limit damage from climate change

Extreme weather events due to climate change cause damage to people, assets and property. EU-funded project H2020_INSURANCE is combining climate services with destruction information to create an open-source computer programme which estimates and reduces the losses caused by such disasters.

Research Headlines – Greater open access to scientific research in Europe

An EU-funded project aims to further the work of the OpenAIRE platform in supporting open access to scientific knowledge. The project is also contributing to the development of the EU’s European Open Science Cloud, which provides unlimited access to publicly funded research output in Europe. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – Ports prepare for cyber-storms, too

Critical infrastructure, like ports, face growing threats – both physical and cybernetic. In response, EU-funded researchers have developed novel ‘hybrid’ situation-awareness tools, including visualisation techniques for detecting, preventing, and mitigating the impacts of potential attacks.
